Cheers.

Whoa. What are you doing?

-Thrown it away. -No, sorry,

She could clearly see we were together.

-I feel like going back in there -Oh leave it.

She's not my type anyway.

That is not what you're meant to say.

Well, tell me what I'm meant to say.

That, you've only got eyes for me,

So tell me, what can our viewers expect from Mr. Eddie Reynolds?

Oh, I'm going in to win mate!

I Look good

Did you see my face when the door opens?

I was acting well shocked, weren't I, Mum?

I know, darling, you deserve an Oscar.

I think she's nice, that Mickey Martell,

lovely girl, a bit loud.

-Hasn't she got an eye for the ladies?

I mean, in show business nobody's straight.

-You better watch out. -Shut up, Nan.

Look, let's watch it again.

Actually, Eddie, I'm gonna need to go in a minute.

I've got work in the morning.

Oh. he's excited, love.

You can watch it one more time.

Look at him.

You're not gonna sleep tonight, you ya? Oh love him!

No, yeah, yeah, yeah, come on, I'll drop you back.

I can get an Uber if you want to stay and celebrate.

Good idea.

No, it's okay, I'll drop you back.

-Yeah, but you've been drinking, so.

Yeah, I've only had a couple, I'm fine to drive.

Hello?

Oh, hello?

Yeah, hold on.

Aunty Karen, seeing you on the telly.

- Hold that - Hello Karen!

Helloo!!

Look, it's fine, I'm just gonna get an Uber.

Feel a bit under the weather anyway so.

No, I'll just do this, look, I'll be two minutes.

-Go wait in the car, yeah? -Thanks. Bye.

Bye!

Aunty Karen.

-All right? -Yeah.

What's up?

Nothing, just, yeah, nothing, doesn't matter.

Are you not happy for me?

Yeah, of course I am.

You don't seem it.

It's 'Love on the Rocks', Eddie.

The villa is for single people.

Well, yeah, but we weren't together when I applied.

No, I know.

Why didn't you tell me?

I didn't think I'd get in.

Sure.

Well where does that leave me?

Like, where does that leave us?

You're trying to ruin my night.

No, I'm not, I'm not, I just,

I just don't wanna watch you on TV every night

getting with another girl, or girls.

I don't know how you expect me to react.

How would you feel if it were me?

I'd expect you to be happy for me.

I'm gonna be famous, aren't I?

Can you just take me home?

Lauren.

Please.

Do you know what, what do they do next then?

Far too young to be serious about a girl like that.

She's gonna get in the way of his dreams, that one.

She seems nice enough to me.

I met your father when I was 18.

Oh, don't worry about that.

They won't last long.

Not once he's in that villa, eh, Dad?

Yeah, he's gone on the TV show as a single man,

that's the whole point.

Oh, he's gonna be famous, my boy.

I can't believe it, he's gonna be a star.

Do you think I'm gonna be a star, mum?

No.

He better behave himself, I'll say that.

I wouldn't count on it.

I just wish he wasn't tangled up with her,

he doesn't need it.

Oh, leave it alone now.

You're like a dog with a bone, you.

He'll have to call it off with her, won't he?

He'll find someone better in there, anyway.

Okay, bye.

Good job, good job.

Nice, one, boys.

Chuck us a wheely

Mum, mum, you seen outside?

I know, darling, They've been there all day.

The phone hasn't stopped ringing, either.

It's been bedlam at that gate.

They even wanted photos of me!

Now, Wes, your brother will be back soon,

go upstairs and get changed into something nice,

in case they want to interview you okay?

-Off you go. -Yeah.

-Oh, and brush your hair. -All right.

For the reports of last month,

please do have it on my desk by the end of today.

I had a meeting with the board,

and they are very, very impressed, I must say.

Just a couple notes on my end of the tweaks in--

Sorry, guys, one sec.

Yeah, I had a meeting with the board,

and they are impressed, they are very impressed.

I think there's just a couple tweaks in the strategy.

What?

You tell me.

Oh, it's nothing, I think i've got a bit of food poisoning.

I've watched you run in and out of here,

every day this week.

You're pregnant.

Oh my God, don't be ridiculous.

Have you done a test?

No, I don't need to, I'm not pregnant.

I think you should take a test.

He's on his way back.

Oh, oh!

Eddie, Eddie, Eddie Eddie please.

Hello, hello!

Never done one of these before.

You're lucky, I've lost count of how many I've done.

It's easy, you just go in and pee on it.

Go on.

-Alright mum. -Hello, darling.

Oh, I'm so proud of you, I really are.

Come on Eddie

I'll make you a cup of tea.

They love me.

-They love you, I love you. -Come on.

I'll make us a cup of tea.

A bit of heather for you love?

A bit of luck for you.

That's for you, that is.

What do you got for me?

Oh, sorry, I don't carry change.

-I never have it. -You sure, love?

Nothing at all?

Honest, I would.

Sorry, you can take it back.

No, my love, you keep that.

So sad.

You look after yourself, love.

Do you mind if I get a selfie?

Yeah, yeah, man, go for it.

-Hey nice idea, nice one mate -Good to see ya.

Cheers, yeah.

All right?

Er, no.

I've got something to tell you.

-Have you told your mum? -No.

-I wanted to tell you first. -Don't tell her.

-What? -And don't tell

-But why? -Because they

-What if I wanted to keep it? -It's not an option.

-Eddie. -Babe.

Seriously?

-We can't have a kid. -No, I know.

This would ruin every.

-This would ruin my TV career. -Okay.

But can you just put that aside for a minute?

No, I can't.

-I can't, this is major. -I know.

I've got something growing inside me.

How did this happen?

You know, I actually had something to say to you today

and this has fucked it all up.

-Oh, I am sorry. -No, I didn't mean.

All right, listen.

The producers called me today.

Mum told them I was seeing you and that

and they've asked me to keep it on the down low

whilst the show's on the air.

That's just until it's all over.

A few months.

It's a game, isn't it?

Oh, I get it, you need to appear single, right?

-Yeah.

-So we're breaking up? -No, no, no.

We just need to pretend.

Pretend like we're not together.

You understand, I've got to start thinking, like,

like what's the best thing for 'Eddie Reynolds' to do?

-You know what I mean? -Third person.

Wow, now I understand.

Oh don't be like that.

No, don't worry about the down low.

We can call it off.

It's fine.

Wait.

Are you gonna tell your mum about the other thing?

Stop slamming things about.

Oi, I'm talking to you. Calm it down.

Elaine, come and speak to your son.

I don't need to speak to her.

I just wanna be left alone.

I'll never understand you, you know.

-Nothing's ever good enough, is it?

Most boys your age will be over the moon

to get on that 'Love on the Rocks',

-and you're still not happy. -It's not about that.

-You don't understand anything -What is it about then?

Don't tell me is it a girl?

-Cause I know a thing or two. -Dad.

There's not much about women I don't know.

-For fuck's sake. -Hang on, come here,

-Me and your mum have been talking.

Wait a minute.

You're very young, and you don't know everything.

You think you do, but you don't.

This TV show, it could be the making of you, son.

You've seen how well those other lads have

Money, fame, cars, clothes, holidays.

.Women.

You don't need a girlfriend right now to get in the way

Do you?

-It's over anyway. -What?

I said it's over anyway.

Don't need to say all this.

All right.

Well, that's that then, isn't it?

Oh, I'm going to start your tea now, love, all right?

What are we having?

What would you like? I'll make you something nice.

Unbelievable.

-Hello, am I invisible here? -Sadly not.

I don't want anything, Mum.

Oh, don't be silly, I'll make you something you like.

And what about me?

You'll get what you're given.

Remember what I said.

You don't need a woman getting in the way.

Oi, you.

You know what, Dad, you're right.

-I'm single now. -Yes.

-That's it. -It's all about me.

Yes.

Nothing's going to hold me back from Love on the R..

-That's it. That's it. -Nothing

I'm going to get as much out of this as I can, you watch me.

It's right, mate.

So what about Laurel?

-Lauren! -Lauren.

-It's over. -Oh.

No, we're growing apart.

Just don't. don't ask me about her again.

Okay?

See? One word from me.

Yes, love, you smashed it.

Hi.

How was work, love?

All right, yeah, it was okay. I'm just going to bed.

What's the matter with your face?

You've been crying?

No.

What is it, love? What's the matter?

Come on. Come and sit down.

Oh, darling, don't cry.

-It's him again, isn't it? -No.

Mum, I swear to God I'm going to punch him.

I'm so going to punch him.

-What have you done this time? -Nothing.

-Has he hurt you? -No.

I swear down someone needs to buss him up.

Can you just leave it, please?

Look, I don't need my little sister to

I'm finished anyway.

-We ended it today. -Yes!

I'm going to get the boys, yeah?

I'm going to tell them to go down to his work, yeah?

Teach him a fucking lesson.

Rochelle, you are going to do no such thing and do not

Look, it's not going to work with him going on

He can't have a girlfriend and be on the show, can he?

So I'm going to get every single person I know

every single person from gymnastics,

every single person I meet on the fucking street.

-So what are they going to do?

Fucking. two days, two days and he'd be out of that villa.

Can you just leave it, please?

It's going to be my mission, night and day to

That number is on speed dial.

Okay, that's enough. Can you just calm down?

I'm going to get my dad, yeah?

Tell his mates to, like, beat him up or something.

I think we both know our dad's are useless

That's it.

Men are dickheads.

Especially your fathers.

Good job I ain't into men, then.

-Yeah, I wish I wasn't. -And me.

Go put the kettle on, love.

Okay.

Now, while your bodyguard's not here.

Is there anything you need to tell me?

-No. -Be honest.

It's just run its course.

You're sure now?

Yeah.

I promise.

Come here.

Hello.

Would you like to pop yourself down on the bed?

Hello?

Babe, It's me.

It's late. What do you want?

Babe I'm devastated about today, aren't I?

Wait, how did you find out?

I don't know, some girl called me, didn't they?

I'm gutted.

I thought it was what you wanted.

What?

This would have changed my life. How can you say that?

Eddie.

I could have done it, you know.

I'd have been so good.

I would have smashed it.

Why didn't you call me earlier?

I've been drinking haven't I.

-Can I come round? -It's late.

Please.

I won't drive. I'll. I'll walk over.

I just want to hug you.

Okay.

Why, babe?

I've missed you.

It's been mad.

I know. Same.

We've got a lot to talk about, though.

Yeah, not tonight.

Let's just.

-Let's just stay like this and not talk.

I'm really sore.

Why, what's up?

Well, erm.

Because of what I had done today.

What did you have done?

Why are you here?

-Well, you said I could come over.

So, wait, what were you upset about?

You know why.

It's all over the news that.

They've kicked me off the show before I've even started.

They found out I had a previous conviction.

And then.

I'm done.

They've replaced me.

It's shit.

You knew that, didn't you?

Babe?

Yeah, yeah, I did.

It's shit.

Sorry.

The best thing to come out of it though,

is that we can be together now.

Do us a tea, love.

You'll have to wait a minute.

I'm telling you, Mart, I'm not going to let this go.

Oh, no.

That TV company, they've crossed

They've broken that boy.

You don't do that to a kid.

You don't do that to my kid.

He's not a kid. He's an adult. You'll get over it.

Building him up like that.

Putting him on the telly and then humiliating

It's an absolute travesty, and someone

You got the paper?

Oh, no way.

Papers are banned in this house until it all blows over.

I am not having him upset by anything else.

I tell you Mart, they're going to regret this.

I bet they're shitting themselves.

That smug bitch Martell waltzing in here

making out our son's going to be a star.

It's all fake, isn't it?

She's a fake. A load of shit.

Any chance of that tea?

Oh, I thought it might be too much to expect

You know what?

I'm like a single parent in this house.

Oh, here we go, mum to the rescue.

Tell me this.

Did it help all those times you went

racing up to the school fighting his battles? Eh?

Constant bloody showdowns with teachers and school kids.

Did you ever think he might be the one to blame?

Oh, fuck off.

One woman army.

I'm his mother. I'm supposed to protect him.

What he needs is to toughen up a bit.

You've spoiled him all his bloody life.

Oh, I've heard all this.

Shit, things happen, and he's going to have to learn

God help him if anything serious went wrong.

He'd fall apart.

Oh, hello, darling.

Have you been out all night?

You okay?

But sit down. I'll make you a cup of tea, yeah?

Where have you been?

-You stink of booze. -Dad.

Leave him, please.

I was at Lauren's.

Huh? Is that all back on now?

Mum. do you think they might change their minds

Oh, yeah. Don't you worry son.

I'm calling them today. Believe me,

Eddie, let me explain something to you.

A drugs conviction doesn't look good.

I told you this.

Especially when they want people to be squeaky clean

For fuck's sake.

I told you this would come back to haunt you didn'..

That's all history, Martin.

He said he was sorry.

It weren't his fault anyway, was it, love?

He told you what happened.

The police didn't believe him, did they?

Shut up, Dad!

No, never your fault, but them's the facts.

Leave it, please Martin. You can see the boy's upset.

When you start taking some responsibility, maybe your life

Fuck.

This is bullshit!

-All right? -Get out, Wes.

I'm sorry about what happened.

About the show and that.

Yeah, I don't want to talk about it.

Just close the door.

So many people came up to me yesterday

It was mad.

Yer an' I hope you told them to fuck off.

Yeah, of course. They don't know shit.

Bro, look.

I know you said you'd take me to Dubai after

I just want to say, yeah, that I don't care

It don't matter.

I'm not bothered.

I know you won't have the money now.

But you know you said about me having your bedroom,

cos you're gonna buy a new house.

Does that still stand?

Anyway, here for you, bro.

Not going in work again today?

I've just got cramps.

You think staying up all night with that boy helped?

That would be a hard no.

OK, we were just talking.

-Mm hmm. -OK, sis.

What's he doing back here anyway?

-I thought you broke your heart? -OK mum please.

You know best.

Far be it for me to get involved in your love life.

-Yeah, amen. -What?

Just for the record, if Eddie is around,

I am getting involved in your love life.

-Rochelle! -Oh, what?

Right, seeing as you're both home.

you can help me take all this to the post office later.

I can't. I've got that thing.

Yeah, Mum, I'm in pain. I need to lie down.

Right.

So, Eddie's back on the scene then, is he?

How long for this time, I wonder?

OK, you just said you weren't going to get involved.

-Your as bad as her. -Darling, I'm concerned for you.

You've moped around this house ever since he dumped you.

He didn't dump me. I left him.

-He's made you miserable. -Truth!

I don't want you to waste your life on someone like him.

-You can do better than that. -OK, Mum,

Look at your father.

-I wish my mother had warned me. -Owww..

-Have you taken anything for it? -Yes, I'm just waiting

I only say these things 'cos I love you.

I want you to be happy.

I get a bad feeling from that boy.

I always have, you know that.

When I see the two of you together.

I don't know, I get this awful feeling come over me.

-Oh mum! -Well your sister hates him too.

I fucking hate him, he's a dick.

OK, Mum, I love him, all right?

And I know he's not perfect, but I know what I'm doing.

I know you only say this stuff because you care,

It's just up here.

-What do you think? -So nice

This is my favourite place.

-Yeah? -Really?

What do you mean really?

There's one.

That's great.

Thank you.

When can we get married?

-You proposing? -Well, not yet.

Mmm, why not?

Have you seen the state of this path?

I ain't kneeling down in this, I'll ruin my jeans.

Oh, OK, we'll have to wait to get married then.

What about kids?

What about them?

Well, how many do you want?

I don't want to talk about kids.

Why not?

Cos you never mentioned the one we nearly had.

-I had an abortion, Eddie. -Yeah, I know.

You wanted me to, didn't you?

Yeah, I did, but.

You know, I just tried to pretend like it didn't happen.

And then.

You never brought it up, so.

.neither did I.

-Yeah, it was easier. -Not for me.

-Was it awful? -Yeah.

.and no.

I felt a bit alone.

I think that was the worst thing.

One minute you're aware of this extra thing inside you.

And then all of a sudden it's gone.

I missed it. I missed you.

I won't leave you like that again.

I promise.

If you promise never to leave me.

OK?

So I'm stuck with you forever. Is that what you're saying?

Afraid so.

What's this?

Awww.

-You know we only get an hour, right?

It's been so chaotic today. I haven't had a minute.

-So where are we going? -Do you want to try

Lead the way.

-Let's go somewhere else. -What? Why?

I just know somewhere better.

Yeah, but we've only just got here.

-What do I do? -Just go.

He is not worth it. Come on.

Eddie?

-Lauren. -Who is this?

-Excuse me? -Wait.

-Eddie! -Look, she's just a.friend.

-What? I thought you broke up with her.

-Look I can explain. -Oh seriously?

No, don't go. I don't want to interrupt.

-Look, you're not inter-- -Wait. I know you.

-Lauren. -The waitress.

You are unbelievable.

You know, just about everyone warned me

I'm an idiot.

I just want to go.

You are welcome to him!

I'm done.

Lauren, wait.

Why don't you leave that girl alone?

She's too good for you.

I said leave her be this time.

You had your chance, mate

Hey, make a wish.

Are you all right, love? Everything okay at work?

Yeah, yeah, fine.

Me and mum we've made all your favourites tonight, haven't we?

And all your presents are through there,

but your dad's got something for you first.

Let's go!

Bro come and look!

Well. what do you reckon son? Will it do? Eh?

It's got top of the range speakers, Sat Nav.

hardly any miles on the clock.

Dad said I can drive it sometimes.

Oi, no I didn't.

What'd you think, love?

Why did you buy me a car?

Don't be like that, love.

You need a car.

I'll have it if you don't want it.

Yeah, you can have it.

I don't want it.

He said I could have it, Dad.

Well, that's bloody ungrateful if you ask me.

Mother.

I'll speak to him.

Awww.

I know you're tired from work, darling,

but just take the car out for a little spin later

with your dad and Wes, yeah?

It means so much to him.

I can't, Mum.

Oh your Nan's got you a lovely present.

You wait till you see it.

I don't. want anything.

Shouldn't have done this.

Made all this fuss.

But it's your birthday.

-Is this about that girl? -Lauren.

Eddie. things don't always work out the way

we think they will, but we've got to move on.

Feeling sorry for yourself every day isn't gonna help.

-But I miss her, mum. -Oh, I know you do, darling,

but there's loads of girls out there

who'd jump at the chance of being with a

Come on, let's go and have some tea

and open your presents, yeah?

Come on, love.

I'll be there in a minute.

Okay.

Ooh.

Oh, do you remember?

Do you remember!

The chimpanzee threw shit at him!

Oh, I do remember

Oh, that was funny.

Oh, that was so funny.

Little bleeder.

Oh, do you know.

Oh a lovely day that. I loved it.

-I remember that. -Oh I miss those days.

Your car went down well then.

I must say, if my parents had given me a car at that age,

I wouldn't have reacted like that.

All right, Mum, give it a rest.

-Did he even say thank you? -Mum.

You can't help but think about all those kids

who'd have no one to buy 'em a car.

Mum, that's enough, please.

I'm trying to watch this.

Wesley, turn it up.

Dan, Helen's husband and brother, I think. Can we go.

Far be it from me to tell you how to bring your kids up.

But good manners cost nothing, you know.

-Mart, can you take her home, please?

-No, now, Mart. -Oh, you are a difficult woman.

Yeah, because I had a good teacher.

Right, that's me.

Wesley, would you get my bag, love?

He's a lovely boy, that one.

Never given us any trouble, whereas him.

Don't mum, I'm warning you, just don't.

Martin.

Right, I'm ready.

I'm ready.

"People, pack your sun tan lotion"

"The countdown is on."

"Strap yourself in, the TV event of the year"

"is heading your way."

Turn that shit off, Wes.

I don't want that programme on this house.

Another thing he managed to screw up, eh?

That wasn't his fault!

No, no, it never is, is it?

Come on, take me home, Mart.

Bye, Wesley.

I'll leave the hug goodbye if that's okay.

Yeah, yeah, don't worry yourself.

Can I put the TV back on, then?

Eddie Reynolds?

Yes?

Hi, Eddie.

Now, you don't know me, but I'm from DTV.

I'm Naomi.

Hi.

Now, you might remember we were in contact

regarding a TV show, Love on the Rocks?

-Yeah, I remember. -Awesome.

Well, I hope you don't mind me calling,

but we've been having some discussions

Oh, yeah?

Yeah, and we've been watching your

and to cut to the chase, we all think it's pretty unfair

what happened to you and we've all had

and I'm pleased to say I've got some good news for you.

We would love to invite you back onto the show this year.

Sort of pick up where we left off.

Hello?

Not interested.

Pardon?

I said I'm not interested.

Oh, okay, erm.

May I ask why?

Because I couldn't do that to my girlfriend.

I understand, no, sure.

Bad timing for us, I mean.

Listen, I'm gonna leave you my number

just in case your situation changes

-and you wanna reconsider? -I won't.

Thanks for calling.

Okay, well, I--

Where's Mum and Dad?

Wes?

Wes!

What?

-Where's Mum and Dad? -Gone round Nan's.

You wanna play?

-No. -Oh, come on,

I'm going out too.

What?

Well can Jake and Brad come round then?

Do what you want.

Oi, boys, do you hear that?

Free house, get over here now.

Is Wes here?

Wes!

Your brother's well moody, man?

Yes, bro, come in. I hear what your saying.

So is this a cry for help stunt?

Or are you actually serious about doing it?

I'm serious.

No, you're not.

-How did you know I'd be here? -Cause you're so predictable.

-This is best for everyone. -You're so dramatic.

Can you imagine the mess?

I'd feel sorry for the people that have to clean up after you.

It's not funny, you know.

I've come all this way to see you

and now you're saying you're gonna jump.

Be with me then.

I can't make it without you.

You can't keep asking me to come back.

-It's not fair. -Yeah, I know.

Can we just talk for a bit?

Like we used to.

Look, I won't put any pressure on you.

It's just to talk.

Please.

Were you gonna get down then?

Will you stay with me for a bit?

Can I see you again?

I thought we'd discussed this?

We've had a nice time tonight, haven't we?

-Yeah, but-- -I loves talking to you.

But we didn't talk about us, did we?

How not perfect it was,

-how you hurt me. -I was different then.

I understand now.

I've grown up.

I just talked you down off a bridge.

Thank you.

Why were you wearing your best clothes?

I don't know.

I know I don't deserve you.

Good night, Eddie.

You didn't answer my question.

Can I see you again?

I'll see you around.

Eddie, love?

Yeah?

Can you come in here, please?

Wes, out you go.

-Oh, Mum. -Do as you're told, out.

Hello, love.

Come and sit down.

So, Wes seems to think you've been on a date tonight.

Yes, actually, I have.

That's nice, love. Anyone we know?

All right, all right, we're just pleased

you're moving on with your life, aren't we, Mart?

Can I go now?

Mum's got something to ask you.

So, I've had a call from DTV today.

They want you to appear on this year's Love on the Rocks.

Yeah, so?

Why didn't you tell us?

Because I'm not doing it.

There's nothing to talk about.

But why, love?

You were really excited about it last time.

It could open so many doors for you.

Please, leave it.

I'm not doing that show.

I couldn't do it to Lauren.

What?

What's Lauren got to do with it?

This conversation's over.

I'm going to bed.

-You! -What the fuck have I done?

I reckon my granddad's up there, you know?

In the stars?

Or, in heaven.

At least I hope he is.

I haven't made him proud have I?

And yet, he was so proud of me when I was growing up.

He used to tell all his mates down the Legion

that I was going to be rich

because I was the smart one in the family.

You know, Wes wasn't that close to him, but.

I loved him.

You know, he was such good company.

More of a dad to me than my dad.

Ever since he died, all I've done is let him down.

I let you down too, didn't I?

It doesn't matter anymore.

It does to me.

I'm sorry, Lauren.

I'm gonna be a better person.

That's all I want.

You know, Mum and Dad bought me a car for my 21st.

I don't want it though.

I don't deserve it.

That's just.

I think you need to move on.

You need to start thinking about the future.

Maybe we shouldn't meet like this any more.

I don't think it's helping.

I haven't told anyone we're meeting like this.

You know, our parents wouldn't understand anyway.

It can be our secret.

Just don't leave me again, Lauren.

I don't know what I'd do.

Oh. It's him.

Oh, you're late tonight, love.

How was work?

Yeah, it's fine.

Sit yourself down, we've saved you some dinner.

Dad, can I start doing lessons in Eddie's car?

-No. -But he's not using it.

Wes, your dad said no, It's Eddie's car.

He's gonna wanna drive it soon.

I won't. I told you.

It's lovely, that car, you know.

Your granddad would have loved it.

Are you, um, are you out tonight?

-Maybe. -Can I come?

No

Is it a date?

Wes, go and get the door.

Mum, I don't know who it is. It's a lady.

Oh.

Oh, hello love. Come in.

Oh, what a lovely surprise.

Everyone, this is Marsha.

Oh, hello, love.

Marsha's Colleen's daughter from the tennis club.

Oh, yeah. How is your mum?

She's fine, thanks.

Eddie. Say hello.

Hello.

Oh, yes.

Yes, it's my television programme on now.

Please excuse me. Lovely to meet you, love.

Wes, come and help us in the garage.

-What? No. -Wesley.

Can I, um, can I get you a drink, Marsha?

Oh, just some water, thanks.

A glass of water.

There you go.

-Thank you. -All right, darling, okay.

Marsha's training to be a, what's it called again, love?

-Physiotherapist. -Physiotherapist,

Are you at college then?

Uni.

Oh, Eddie didn't want to go to Uni.

He wanted to earn his own money,

start saving and that, didn't you, love?

-Where do you work? -Mum!

What are you doing?

-What? -What's this about?

Why have you bought this girl here?

Calm down, love.

Colleen and I just thought you two should meet.

You've got a lot in common.

You shouldn't have done that.

I should get going, actually.

No, no, hang on a sec, love.

Eddie, don't be like that.

Look, I'm sorry she made you come around.

My mum seems to forget that I'm in love with someone

and that's not gonna change.

I better get going, Mrs. Reynolds.

I'll see you about, love.

-Well, was she a nice girl? -Babe.

Was she?

Well, yeah, she was pretty, but, you know, she's not--

Well, she might be good for you.

What?

Why would I care? I've got you, I don't need anyone else.

But you haven't got me.

Come on.

What do you mean?

Don't, don't say that.

-I'll never meet anyone like you.

-No! We're meant to be together. -Obviously we weren't.

-I can't keep seeing you like this.

-Never see me again? -Oh, Eddie.

-My life's over. -No.

No, you can't say that to me, that's not fair.

But we loved each other, right?

-Please. -You still wear my necklace?

-I shouldn't wear them any more. -No.

You need to let me go.

For me.

You can't have loved me to say that.

It's because I love you.

Goodbye, Eddie.

Hello.

Hi, is that the sales department?

Yes, how may I help?

Can I speak to Lauren, please?

Lauren?

Who is this, please?

Um, it's, uh.

Is this Eddie Reynolds?

Yeah.

Okay, you listen to me.

You do not phone here again.

Do you hear me?

You're sick and you need help.

Look I just wanna talk to her.

She must have changed her number.

Eddie, this is enough.

Look please, I just--

Don't phone this office again.

This is harassment!

No, no, it's okay, thanks. Thanks for checking.

Can you give me a call when he gets there, please?

Okay, thanks very much. Bye, bye.

Where's your brother?

-How would I know? -Well his car's

-So? -What's all the fuss?

Eddie's taken his car, Mum.

-Taken it where? -I don't know, do I?

Come in.

Hi, Jenny.

Please meet Inspector Marston.

-Hi. -Hello.

-Please sit. -Oh, lovely.

He's come to hear your complaint today.

Thank you for coming. It's nice to meet you.

So, just to briefly explain why we've asked you to meet us.

We've been receiving calls here to the office

from a young man called Edward Reynolds.

And at first, probably due to the fact that we were busy,

we just ignored it.

But now, the calls are becoming more frequent.

I see.

Jenny can supply you with more context

as she has intercepted the majority of the calls.

How long has this been going on?

Um, I'd say five months or so.

So he's pretty persistent, this chap?

You could say that.

Our priority is to protect our staff members

through all communications.

So we need this matter concluded

for their safety and well-being.

Of course.

Okay, Jenny, let's start at the beginning.

He just came bursting into the office.

-No, no, no, no, no, no. -Lauren!

-Eddie! -Like he owned the place.

Eddie, get out!

-Eddie, get out! -No, you give me

Such an arrogant.

Lauren and I had caught him cheating

like five minutes earlier.

Then he turns up full of bullshit excuses.

I told him she didn't want to speak to him,

but he wouldn't have it.

He just kept begging for her to come outside for a chat.

In the end, one of my male colleagues

had to literally remove him from the office.

Lauren, she was so embarrassed.

He caused a massive scene.

I saw this happen, but so did most of the office.

Go on.

We had a staff party booked that night in town.

It had been planned for ages.

Lauren didn't want to come after what had happened,

but we all begged her so she could take her mind off of it.

And this was March 18th, right?

Yeah.

And what happened next?

So we all get to the bar that night,

and Eddie's there, isn't he?

Edward Reynolds?

Yeah.

But Lauren's a bit shaken by it all

and doesn't want another scene.

I don't know what he said,

but he clearly managed to turn on the sweet talk

and they're acting all in love like nothing had happened.

So I followed her to the toilet.

To ask her what was going on,

I was just so annoyed for her.

He was always treating her so badly.

She kept saying she's fine and just to leave it

and that he had explained it all.

-What's that? -Nothing.

Um.has anyone heard anything?

-Why are we worrying? He's fine. -He's not fine, Martin.

There's something wrong. I can feel it.

Wesley!

Wes!

-What? -Your brother's missing.

I want you to go round all the places he could be,

check his mates' houses, see if he's there.

He don't really see no one no more.

Just go and look for me, please, Wesley.

And watch the road.

Don't get yourself in a state, love.

He can't be far.

There's something wrong, I'm telling you.

Fucked it!

They told you to wear this.

Stand here, smile now.

Look up.

Find your light.

Look to the light.

Well, I'm looking.

I'm looking!

You want me?

You don't want me?

I'm on the show.

No, I'm not.

And you can't even have a baby.

It doesn't mean anything, does it?

None of it does.

It never did.

I couldn't hold any of it in my hand, could I?

Fuck you!

Granddad?

I'm sorry.

Give me one reason to stay here.

Because I can't think of any.

I fucked it.

I totally fucked it!

Don't worry Nan. I'll find him.

You're absolutely unbelievable.

So I've been told.

I've had to pick up the pieces one too many times after..

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Why can't you just leave her alone?

Why can't you mind your own business?

You make me sick.

Think what you like.

But I love Lauren.

You wouldn't understand.

Yeah.

Yeah, right.

I don't understand,

'cos you're a prick!

Did you speak to Lauren again that night?

Yeah.

I asked her if she wanted to share a cab with me.

But Eddie said they were going home together

and didn't even let her speak.

Anything?

No.

Hi, it's Mrs. Reynolds again.

Has Eddie shown up there yet?

Oh, oh, okay.

Could you give me a ring if he does?

Okay, great, great. Thanks very much, bye.

I don't know what else to do.

Where could he be?

Do you think he could be at Lauren's?

They left shortly after that.

Just calm yourself, just don't even look at her.

Okay, okay, we'll go.

I won't say anything.

I didn't even see her to say goodbye.

Oh, it's fine, it's fine.

-Come on, let's drive. -No, I'm not driving

I've driven in worse states then this before.

-That's not a good thing. -It's fine.

-Can you just let me book an Uber

-Ah, Philip! -Eddie, can you stop!

They're going to The Afters, you wanna come?

No, I don't want to come to.

-Well can I come to yours then? -No, you definitely

What? Alright babe, babe, babe. Look, look, look, look, look.

Just.

For a second, okay? Look.

-That girl today meant nothing to me.

Okay, you're the only girl for me, I promise you.

-Can you stop -Babe.

I don't want to talk about this.

What is it you always want me to say?

That you're.

the best girlfriend in the world,

and I've only got eyes for you.

Can you please stop? I just want to go home.

Babe!

-Can you slow down? -Hmm?

-Can you slow down. -It's fine.

-Eddie! -Lauren, the road's.

Can you watch out?

Please just turn the music down.

-It's fine, turn it back up. -Stop it.

You're being an idiot.

Can you slow down?

Fuck, Eddie!

I love this song.

It's not funny!

-Eddie, slow it down. Eddie! -It's fine.

Lauren

Lauren!

Help!

Hey!

Lauren!

Oh, fuck!

Oh, shit.

Help!

Hey, hey!

She's not moving, quick!

Oh, Lauren!

Where were you six months ago?

-When I had lost my child. -How can you stand there?

How have you let this happen?

-Where the fuck were you then? -Get out!

-I hate you! -I knew he wasn't good for her.

-You're precious little Eddie. -You let this happen.

You let this happen!

You knew he was drunk You let him go in the car!

What the fuck are you doing?

Why did you fucking come?

Cos you piece of shit she's gone!

You piece of shit. You're so fucking selfish.

You don't care about anyone but yourself.

It can be our secret.

Just don't leave me again, Lauren.

I don't know what I'd do.

It's all because of you!

Because you didn't keep an eye on your fucking kids.

Your whole family are shit, all of you!

I hate you!

I hate you.

I know. I know. I know.

I know.

I hate you!

Get out!

Oh, no!

I'm sorry Lauren.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

She'd be here now if it wasn't for him.

I don't think he even knows how to be sorry,

or how to take responsibility.

The saddest thing is,

it didn't need to happen.

He should have just left her alone to live her life.

He never even gave her a chance.
